Nepal Cricket Umpires Association Condemns Karan KC’s Comments Against Umpires

The Nepal Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association has expressed strong objections to the comments made by cricketer Karan KC on social media against umpires. The association stated that such remarks undermine the professional security of umpires and demanded strict action from CAN (Cricket Association of Nepal).

Karan KC had commented on a controversial post by Troll Cricket Nepal, asking, “What kind of punishment is there if an umpire is accidentally hit?”

In an official statement issued after an emergency meeting, the Nepal Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association expressed serious concern over Karan KC’s remarks regarding umpiring decisions and condemned such disrespectful behavior unequivocally. The statement was released by President Mohammad Shafik.

The association noted that these types of comments cause significant harm to the professional safety and respect of umpires and called for stringent disciplinary measures against such actions by CAN. Previously, Karan KC raised the question on Troll Cricket Nepal’s contentious post, “What kind of punishment is there if an umpire is accidentally hit?”

Discontent over umpiring decisions has been evident among players during the ongoing PM Cup Cricket in the Madhesh Province. Although on-field disputes have been brief, this is the first instance of such severe public expressions.
